Easy check in and out process. Great location. The main bedroom bed was super comfortable. On the down side, it was difficult to use the thermostat and only 2 burners worked on the stove.

Thank you for your review, Nicole. I'm sorry to hear about the burners on the stove and thermostat issues. I wish you would have given us a call and we would have done our best to address those issues for you. Maintenance is checking the condo since your input, and will resolve the problems. We hope to see you again!

Great location, short walk (up hill in, down hill home) to shadow mountain lift

Location is great, convenient to downtown aspen and lift 1A. If you want location and reasonable pricing this is a great value, if you want ultra modern design and furnishings maybe consider other places. It was perfect for two guys (or two couples) if yourn goal is to have large space close to downtown aspen and slopes

Response from VrboOwner on 29 Mar 2025
Thank you so much for the nice review, Keith. You are spot on that this condo is not modern, nor luxurious, but is certainly comfortable, close to lifts and the core of town at a reasonable price point.

Excellent location

The condo is a great size and the location is perfect. However a few upgrades could be made that would make a huge difference in aesthetics and functionality (putting an outlet in the bathroom, new table lamps, extra blankets, oven mitts, coffee filters, etc)

Response from VrboOwner on 5 Dec 2022
Thank you for your review, Karen and for staying with us. Some of our guests love the old school vibe, and the owner has spoken about making a few upgrades, but ultimately it's the location that guests rave about. We hope you will come and stay with us again on your next visit to Aspen.

I have stayed in many VRBO properties over the years. This was the cleanest condo or home that I have ever stayed in. Property management company was super responsicve. Highly recommended

Response from VrboOwner on 7 Jan 2022
Thank you so much for the nice review, Mark. Our housekeeping staff tries very hard to make each of our properties as clean as possible for our arriving guests - it's much easier to feel comfortable in a condo when it is clean upon arrival! We look forward to having you stay with us again in the future.

Location, location, location

Just a short walk shops and dining, and most importantly to the gondola for skiing. The condo is a cozy throwback to Aspen in the 1970’s. Nice view of mountain from balcony, comfortable beds, and well stocked kitchen. Unit including all appliances is dated - but so happy to have our doggie tag along .

Classic Aspen Get away

Awesome location in downtown Aspen. It's not the St. Regis, but it's next to the St. Regis! History galore in this classic Aspen condo. The Ski history books on the shelves are the best. 1 block to the chairlifts. Will be back!

Staying in a 'Shabby 70's Condo"

Location was great. But condo was in grave need of a significant update. The feel was "Shabby 70's". One of the 2 bathrooms was totally unacceptable: needs a complete redo. Hot water only allowed for 1 person to shower in AM, 1 person in PM. I have no idea how 3 or more people could stay there. Carpet and furnishings were tired and shabby. Felt like the places I stayed when I was back in school, and could only afford 1-2 star accommodations. Owner needs to significantly invest to bring it up to current standards. Very POOR value for the money. This is an over-priced 1-2 star rental unit. Would NOT return or recommend this condo to anyone else.

Clean and comfortable

Very clean, super comfortable beds, plenty of big fluffy towels, lots of plates, glasses, mugs, etc. Spacious and comfortable, and nice to have the two bathrooms, although they are quite small. Great communication from property managers. If you are looking for stylish and sleek accommodations, this is not the place for you. The furniture, decor and appliances are pretty vintage although clean and in good working condition.
